In relation to the post about the Vatican hosting a Darwin conference, for those interested in that kind of "stuff":
What: Debate (topic: Does God exist?) Who: Christopher Hitchens (Atheist) vs Dr. William Lane Craig (Christian) Where: Biola University in La Mirada When: April 4th, 7:30pm Price: $10 (tickets are selling fast)
There will be a Q & A at the end.
Christopher Hitchens is the author of the famous book "God Is Not Great", he received his degree in philosophy, politics, and economics from Oxford. Dr. Craig is a research professor of philosophy at Biola that has spoken at universities such as Stanford, Yale, Harvard, Cambridge, Princeton and Oxford. Both are well-known in their separate fields so this should be interesting.
I'm not concerned about the outcome of the debate (since it's impossible to prove or disprove 100%) but more interested in the facts and rebuttals each side will use in relation to this topic.
